On January 14, 2025, a chemical factory in the Dujana industrial area of Greater Noida, India, caught fire in the afternoon, resulting in multiple loud explosions that forced employees to flee for safety. The fire spread rapidly, causing extensive damage to most of the factory’s facilities. Preliminary investigations suggest that the fire may have been caused by an accidental reaction involving chemicals. Authorities have yet to release an exact figure, but losses are estimated to reach millions of dollars.

Over 20 firefighting vehicles rushed to the scene to extinguish the blaze. Although no injuries or fatalities have been reported, local residents were affected by deteriorating air quality in the vicinity.

This incident highlights the critical importance of early fire detection. Traditional fire alarm systems often alert only after smoke or flames are visible, whereas Planck Vision TNC thermal imaging cameras can provide early warnings by detecting abnormal heat conditions before a fire erupts, effectively preventing loss of life and property.

Chemical factories and other high-risk facilities should consider installing Planck Vision TNC thermal imaging cameras to reduce fire risks through real-time monitoring and ensure the safety of lives and assets.

Scalable Solutions for Early Fire Detection
For early fire detection, Planck Vision TNC thermal imaging cameras are far superior to traditional systems that can alert to fire only after the visible consequences of smoke and flame are present. TNC cameras can help to prevent the destruction of goods and loss of life by surveilling for abnormal heat conditions before fires erupt.
